Sweet Shoppe & Flamingo Trees

I am trying to go all out with my Christmas decorating this year. I have the time -- now I just need to keep moving! I want to share 2 of the trees that I have finished. This is my Sweet Shoppe tree. It is a 4' red tree from Big Lots a few years ago. I also use this tree for Valentine's. This is a look at it prior to decorating:

This tree is in my Master Bathroom. Here are some close-ups of some of the ornaments -

This is the topper -

This is the base of the tree -

And -- this is the entire tree! Love this Sweet Shoppe tree!!!

Here is my Flamingo Tree. This is the first year for it. I had put some of the ornaments on a very small tree one year, but needed to do an expansion. It is a 6' white prelit with white lights that was bought at WalMart a couple years ago. This is the "before" tree:

This is the topper -

Here is the base of the tree (I used pink netting and it looks better in person - camera really shows the base)-

﻿The full length version -

This tree is in what we call the "Studio". It is my crafting area and Mr. Cardigan has his desk there. When I came out from decorating this is what I found in the living room - nestled amongst some areas decorated and some not -
